President Wider moved to insert under
the head of civil list, education of Princess
Ka:ulani, $500. He said that if this child
was to become ruler this House should
see she was properly educated to perform
the duties she may be called to- Without
much personal reference, he would state
that her father had met with adverse cir
cumstances in financial matters, and tbs
item shoU'd be passed.
A.
motion if the child was to be educated
abroad. She world get better education
abroad
Noble Smith seconded the President s
motion. II they desired to preserve the
Hawaiian throne they must look ahead.
and IN doing so they cannot help but look
at that child. The day this session was
opened the little Princess occupied a seat
on the daiS, and no one objected to her
being there, because she is in the direct line
of succession to the throne. In that case
the country has a direct interest in that
child, and it is in the place of this House to
see she is properly fitted for that place
Rep. c. Brown said that - Consistency is
jewel" He hoped ,he House would prove
it. The other day, in cutting down the
Kings salary there was great cry of econ
omy, and ne thought it should equally apply
in this case. He moved to strike out the
item for the Processes salary the other
day, and he hoped the House would vote
against any being given.
Rep. Kinney said this girl should receive
support 1t was said her mother left her
considerable property. AS she is in the
line of succession the State has better
right to say where she shall be educated
than her father
Noble Young said he supported Presi-
| dent Wilders motion on the score of econ
omy, the jewel considered afterward. 1t
may save the country money to have her
properly educated This country should
have the honor of bringing her up.
Rep Kamuoha moved the item pass at
$3.50
The item passed at $500.
JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.
Police Judge, Honolulu, $3.50
Noble Smith thought that before they
commenced cutting down the salaries OF
common public officers the Cabinet should
state some policy. They have made reduc-
tons to the amount of $11 343, and already
the House has passed So, 525, leaving 81, 81S
to be saved in the remaining items in the
bill. The secret of true economy was in the
application. He believed that the interests
of the Government Will demand another
loan. For developing the resources of this
country it may be necessary to spend sums
in excess of the revenue.
~
reduction occupied the close attention oil
the Cabinet as to what should be stricken
out He answered Noble Smith at some
length, and IN the course of his remarks

since he took office, had reduced the ex-
penses of his department 1916 month, and

out $500 month more for expenses than

that ever filed the office.
